I dream of peacrab running sideays preening
and of turkows moobbling in the field
I dream of the long-necked ravraffe,
black winged and ready to lope among the dead

I dream of Cockertles zipping in the dark places
six-legged and hard-shelled, nearly living
forever. I dream of kookoofish and cuttlebirds,
tentacles of octodiles the sharp front teeth of Beavidees

but most of all, I dream of the impossible
a gentleman.
